A member asked:
I treated a 5 year old keloid at home with crushed alka-seltzer and it has nearly disappeared. why? what in alka-seltzer worked for a keloid?

Massage of keloid: with the crushed product is most likely responsible for the reduction in size of your keloid rather than the chemicals itself. The crushed particles helped to break up the scar tissue. I'm happy this is working for you.
